More about Ben

Ben’s education and passion came from two important sources – Father Bob is the FIA Formula 1 commentator and met mother Jane in the paddock when she was working for Williams F1 Team. Andrew Marriott, another motorsport legend, was the one who educated Ben in TV and broadcasting, as he filled one of two producer/presenter/commentator roles on a variety of motorsport championships for SkySports.

This broad education in creating content in a variety of motorsports has continued throughout a 12 year career. He has worked for Audi and Audi Sport hosting hospitality, presenting online features on racing activities and the launch videos of the newest road cars
